Question

Which of the following statement is valid for image formation by a plane mirror?

• A. Real object gives virtual image and virtual object gives real image.
• B. Real object gives real image.
• C. Virtual object gives virtual image.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Real object gives virtual image and virtual object gives real image.

For the case of plane mirror, real object always gives a virtual image $\&$ a virtual object always gives a real image.


$\begin{array}{c}\text{Note :- This is valid for plane mirrors as well as prisms}\\ \text{However, a real image is formed by a real object placed in front of a concave mirror}\end{array}$
